    What is Small Business Restructuring (SBR)?

    Small Business Restructuring (SBR) is a formal process introduced in Australia to help eligible small businesses manage financial distress without needing to close. It provides a legal and streamlined method for companies to reduce debts and renegotiate payment terms while continuing to trade under director control.

    At The Insolvency Group, we guide you through this process, helping you stay compliant while avoiding liquidation.

    Key Features of Small Business Restructuring

    • Debt renegotiation options including reduced balances, extended terms, or lump sum settlements.
    • Directors remain in control — no administrator takes over.
    • Designed to preserve brand, business operations, and jobs.
    • Supported by the ATO and ASIC when used correctly.
    • A practical alternative to Voluntary Administration or Liquidation.

    Eligibility Criteria

    To qualify for SBR, your business must:

    • Be a Pty Ltd company in financial distress.
    • Owe less than $1 million (excluding entitlements).
    • Have employee entitlements and super paid up-to-date.
    • Be up to date or substantially compliant with tax lodgments.
    • Not have used SBR or simplified liquidation in the last 7 years.
    • Appoint a registered Small Business Restructuring Practitioner.

    Step-by-Step Process

    • Directors identify financial distress and consult The Insolvency Group.
    • We help company directors pass a resolution and appoint us as a registered Small Business Restructuring Practitioner.
    • We assess your finances and develop a tailored Restructuring Plan (20 business days).
    • Creditors vote on the plan (15 business days).
    • If accepted, the plan is implemented under our guidance.
    • Once completed, your company is released from those restructured debts.
